Training Per Release:

Fundamentals of Injection Molding

Participants are provided with an overview of the plastics industry and introduced to injection molding, with emphasis on safety. The courses go on to explain how an injection molding machine and mold function, how the process works, and the nature of plastic materials. Concepts such as quality control, troubleshooting, and process optimization are also introduced.

Overview: The Mold Design Series familiarizes participants with the different types of injection molds, contemporary machining methods, and many of the available mold components. This c more...ourse also provides the participant with a tool design methodology and a sample mold specification guide for reference. The topics covered in this course cover the functions of injection molds, part design considerations, material considerations, molding machine considerations, and initial mold design.

Overview: Our basics three part series provides participants with a general understanding of the three major aspects of injection molding; the injection molding machine, the molding pro more...cess, and the injection mold. These courses demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mold and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. The part 1 machine course provides an introduction to the injection molding process and machine types. The major components of an injection molding machine are also covered with their respective functions.

These courses demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mold and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. The part 3 mold course explains the specific functions that an injection mold must perform, different mold configurations, common runner and gate types, and an overview on how molds are made.

Overview: This course explains how and why plastics are different and cites several different types of polymers and processing considerations. Understanding Plastics emphasizes material more... handling, explains regrind, and covers the effects that moisture can have on molded part properties during processing.
